A fresh communal clash is brewing among the people of Okoloba and Okuama communities of Delta State following the withdrawal of soldiers from the area. DAILY POST reports that the communal crisis between Okoloba and Okuama communities led to the killing of 17 soldiers of the Nigerian Army.
The women of Okoloba community in Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State on Saturday protested against the return of armed youths to the area. The black clad women, led by Mrs Timipakebi Goodwin, chairlady of Okoloba community and Mrs Mary Koibi, secretary, staged a peaceful protest along the coastal fringe of Okoloba community, chanting against violence and bloodbath, while also calling on the Federal Government to come to their aid.
It also shows that neighbouring Ijaw communities like Okoloba are not safe. “So, resettling the people of Okuama in their present location, which is in-between communities in Bomadi local government area, is an attempt to encourage further communal clashes and bloodbath. “Just last week, youths of Okuama community came out of the Mein-toruabubor creek, which leads to Ewu, on three speedboats and all of them on camouflage. 'They shot sporadically in the air before proceeding to Okuama.
